Well, the actual question is:
In svn I can do a remote diff (diff between two remote revisions) without
having to do a checkout, is this possible for git ?

The question makes no sense to me. Git by design is a distributed SCM tool, 
so there is no such thing like "remote revisions". You can have tracking 
branches (clones) of some remote repositories, but all the commits on such 
branches are also stored locally. So you have full access to them, even 
without a permanent connection to such remote repositories.

It's a really simple question.
For svn I can do:
svn diff http:\\<svn path>@<rev. number 1>  http:\\<svn path>@<rev.
number 2>
Can I do the same for git, to avoid `git clone` ?

PS. The encoding you used for your message is not playing well with the 
Polish accented characters in your name ;)

I think it's your mail program, which is not plaing well with received
mail. My message was a standard, plain-text, UTF-8 encoded email sent by
mutt.
